Block Producer Candidate Report #3 - March 21, 2018
WEEKLY EOS BLOCK PRODUCER CANDIDATE REPORT #3
MARCH 21st 2018
The following is a randomized list of current Block Producer Candidates (BPCs) and public contact URLs. The order will be re-randomized every week. The information presented here was submitted directly by BPCs and has been minimally checked by EOS Go volunteers but not verified for completeness or accuracy.
NEW THIS WEEK
- Five new block producer candidates.
- Highlighting for newly-added candidates.
- Added list of previous Reports for easy reference. (scroll to bottom.)
Block Producer Candidates: Please provide us with a single URL that is a clearinghouse for all important public information about your candidacy. The interested public should be able to visit one web page or site with easy-to-find links to your Twitter handles, Steem posts, Meetup.com pages, Telegram chats, Facebook pages, websites, and more. To update your listing please send an email request to: [email protected]
BPCs whose contact URLs do not show some clear evidence of Block Producer candidacy are sorted into a second randomized group below the main group. These BPCs will be dropped from the list entirely starting with Report #4 on March 28th.
As a reminder, BPC Report #4 (Wednesday March 28) will mark the start of the per-BPC Checkbox Criteria reporting. Click here for the six check mark criteria and scroll down for a preview.
**New candidates - to be included in this report, please fill out this form or email [email protected]
REPORT NOTES
Added "Unknown" Country/Region category for BPCs with no location listed. We expect a major adjustment in summary statistics starting with Report #4 next week. Unless their URLs are updated, around 20 inactive BPCs will no longer be counted in summary stats.
Changed "Grand total" field to "Total active" and "Inactive" BPCs in Summary Stats.

SHA256 checksum: 8b4babafc9c85829fef324ff2a68cb92de129d8b74818d43eb8589354e14d489
The Six Check Mark Criteria
PUBLIC PRESENCE: A public website URL and at least one social media account.
ID ON STEEMIT: Links to the following ID information, all posted to the Steem blockchain (either in one post or multiple):

CONTACT INFO: Listing of Telegram and node names for community testnet participation.
Preview of Future BP Candidate Reports
Here's the format EOS Go plans to use for upcoming BP Candidate Reports starting with Weekly Report #4 on 2018-03-28 (March 28th.) Note that ordering of BPCs remains random and will be re-shuffled every week:
Process Notes
BPC information is accepted on a rolling basis. The current on-line form for submitting data is this GoogleForm. (NOTE, this link may change over time, be sure you are looking at the most-recent version of this Weekly BPC Report to get the correct link.)
BPC list randomization is performed with the Shuffle tool in the AbleBits Power Tools plugin for GoogleSheets.
Why Steem? In the interest of fairness and transparency we request all BPCs to post information on a blockchain-backed platform where content cannot be silently altered or removed. This provides short- and long-term assurance to all parties -- other block producer candidates, EOS token holders, and the interested general public.
EOS Go includes SHA256 checksums for important data-containing image attachments in our SteemIt posts to ensure long-term content integrity and verifiability. (As of this writing SteemIt does not include a native mechanism for ensuring image integrity, read more here if interested.) We add SHA256's shortly after the initial post goes up to avoid process-related mismatches due to images being re-encoded server-side during the posting process.
Additionally, EOS Go archives a local snapshot of the raw BPC form submission data (a .CSV-format spreadsheet) at the close of each weekly period. The .CSV snapshot will be archived for at least 2 years and its SHA256 checksum is posted in the report. In the event of a serious discrepancy or conflict relating to the BPC registration process a trusted 3rd party (such as an arbitrator) could examine one or more weekly data snapshots to verify their chronological integrity.
Raw form data .CSV snapshot as of the closing timestamp of Reporting Period #3:
File name: 2018-03-21_12_27_05_UTC_Snapshot_Block_Producer_Candidate_Form_Raw_Responses.csv
SHA256 checksum: 08e0dcb7e3ee49c17396d1821e0cc0e01deb93feb072f3cd73d6d2db12d24387

Very good post you friend @eosgo
Follow back me @eosgo
Thanks EOSGO! You are awesome!!!
EOSBrasil link is a dead link.
We are starting community EOSNet.io testnet to allow BPs to test their hardware and test setting up BP node.
We cover all continents and multiple countries and have 6 spots left before we have 21 BP on the network.

We are starting our Blockchain on March 28, 2018.
